<p>Amy, I am so pleased that as a Select Board member in Greenwood, you opposed not only the specific Calpine proposal but supported the incredible strengthening of your wind ordinance. I expect you found this organizations's website to be loaded with useful information regarding the scourge of industrial wind power.<br/>Arthur is one of the original wind warriors. He doesn't wish to demean you, but he does react to the history of the wind industry in Maine and how they work. Perhaps Calpine worked a bit differently than other developers, notably, First Wind, Patriot Renewables, Independence Wind, and their cronies. As a Select Board member, I hope you encourage your peers in other towns that are threatened by the proliferation of industrial wind to take preemptive steps to craft an ordinance that allows wind power installations with restrictive language based on the best interests of the community and the community's "sense of place". </p> Amy,your naivete concerning t…tag:www.windtaskforce.org,2018-08-09:4401701:Comment:1426302018-08-09T17:12:41.996Zarthur qwenkhttp://www.windtaskforce.org/profile/arthurqwenk
<p>Amy,your naivete concerning the wind issue in Maine is only superceded by your lack of history in the state concerning this issue. Read CTFWP posts years back herein to become more educated on the issue.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>@arthur qwenk: Please explain what you mean by "Not enough graft money was offered to the town officials." As a selectman in Greenwood who opposed Calpine's proposed project from the beginning and supported the folks who campaigned for the more restrictive ordinance, I resent the implication that my political influence (such as it is), or that of either of my fellow selectmen, is up for grabs on this or any other issue.

<p>@arthur qwenk: Please explain what you mean by "Not enough graft money was offered to the town officials." As a selectman in Greenwood who opposed Calpine's proposed project from the beginning and supported the folks who campaigned for the more restrictive ordinance, I resent the implication that my political influence (such as it is), or that of either of my fellow selectmen, is up for grabs on this or any other issue. We were never approached by Calpine or anyone else with an offer of "graft money," and, if we had been, we certainly would have made a big, noisy fuss about it to the media.</p>
<p>This well-organized group and its offshoots who have successfully opposed specific wind projects have much to be proud of, but when you post offhand remarks like this without any basis in fact, it diminishes your group's influence by bringing it down to the level of a fringe element with little regard for accurate reporting. Please don't let that happen, as there is obviously still a lot of work to be done, and it is best done by going into the fight well-armed with facts, and only facts, and by keeping in mind that most town officials in small Maine towns are not your enemy.</p> Calpine will be back with mor…tag:www.windtaskforce.org,2018-08-07:4401701:Comment:1423582018-08-07T20:38:28.386Zarthur qwenkhttp://www.windtaskforce.org/profile/arthurqwenk
